Good win for the Pens and a much needed day of rest to prepare for the Caps. The Caps game will be another “test” for this “new” pens team who have been owned by the capitals. As usual, despite the fact that Martin is playing a very little better of late, this Michalek/Martin pairing is shaky at best. And I hope that Shero does something before the tradeline to bring in a real shutdown defenseman.

On a side note, glad to see that someone in the Pittsburgh press industry isn’t afraid to do some “real” journalism and stir things up a bit! Good job DK! I hope you continue to write and report on both sides of the stories. The Pittsburgh fans deserve that much!
